re: What Happened to all the DeSantis Trolls?

There are more ways to being immune than being a billionaire. When you don't care a whole lot about money, you can be immune. I think I saw on this board a few days ago that DeSantis's net worth is less than $400K. For a guy with his abilities and experience, if the less than $400K is accurate - it makes it seem like he's not overly motivated by money.

You and me included would secure the financial security of our kids and grandkids future for a “simple favor”. That’s how it starts. And it gets to 99% of those that go to Washington. The fact Trump is a billionaire is the reason he could blow them off. Not only does he not want the money. It’s irrelevant to him. He and his future generations are already set. That’s the difference

Yes, but you have to be rich and have the network Trump has to defend yourself and your family when they come after you.

Does DeSantis have the family empire Trump has to go to war with the establishment?

Might you provide even just a couple three reasons why Ron is a stronger candidate than Don at this point?

---

1. Trump was pro-lockdow/Fauci, BDR was pro-freedom/anti-Fauci
2. DeSantis can actually articulate his positions well, and would actually destroy Biden in a debate unlike Trump (who couldn't even get the job done with the Hunter laptop story)
3. Doesn't step on rake or spend every waking hour on twitter

Bonus: He's not old as shite and likely inevitably in cognitive decline like Trump. If Brandon actually survives this term and runs again, the contrast between he and DeSantis would be amazing.

If DeSantis runs, I’m voting for him 100 times out of 100.

He’s a professional Trump that knows when to stfu. Love what Trump did but his mouth has caused so much division.

As for the rest of it, I just don’t see it that way, but we’ll just leave it at reasonable minds can differ.

Look at it this way:

There is a 100% chance that DeSantis crushes Biden or whatever jackwagon candidate the Dems might come up with. They got no one on their bench.

There is at best a 50% or less chance that Trump can win a reelection

With DeSantis we got someone who can govern and advance MAGA policies. Trump cannot and will not be allowed to govern and it will four more years of chaos while the country drifts further into decline.

Desantis would accomplish x1000 times more. He’s smarter, more principled, and a much better politician c

Yet no one would be speaking of him if it weren't for Trump.

Trump endorsement got him the position he's in. Trumps attitude towards DC gave Desantis the blueprint. Yes, Trump needs to adjust his "mean tweets" to help himself out with the weak-minded/knee'd like you, but let's not think people won't notice if Desantis bites the hand that got him where he is now.

Also, let's not forget Desantis has a pro-Conservative legislature that isn't afraid to get him what he needs to look good. He won't have that in DC unless Trump gets a no holds barred 4yrs cleaning house, before Desantis gets there.

Desantis in TX wouldn't be the same as he would be in FL, because looks like the TX republicans in the legislature aren't as Conservative tough as the FL ones are.

So on which reliable sources of info do you base these assertions?

---

The previous 2 elections where he lost the popular vote might be a start. January 6 certainly does not help his chances either.

I saw it as the left and MSM manufactured the vast majority of Trump’s difficulties while President, which if so why wouldn’t it logically follow that they will gleefully utilize the same tactics with Desantis? In which case it would come down to who’s the best of those available in ‘24? Ideally Trump would win in ‘24 then Desantis would be that person who best handles it in ‘28, seeing as how obviously Trump would no longer be “available” at that time.

---

Trump was an easy target and the trolls wrote themselves. You really cannot sling mud at DeSantis the same way you could easily do at Trump. Regardless, the Dems will do what they always do only this time everyone sees through that shite and is hip to the game.

.....and why does everyone assume a Trump win in '24 guarantees a DeSantis win in 2028? That is the dumbest fricking logic. DeSantis is the hot commodity right now and you have to strike it while its hot.

I look at this a lot like 2008 when everyone just assumed Hillary would get the nod. Yet you had the charismatic up and comer in Obama and all the donor class big money and party apparatus consolidated behind him. I see it playing out a lot like that for DeSantis. Trump has a lot of influence and power today but I think the money and support will line up behind DeSantis in a similar way.

As you well know, he won one of those last two by outmaneuvering and out-energizing the opponent using the rules of the game as it’s actually played

Sure

So he beat one terrible politician and lost to another

He's not in prime position to make a run right now even though his supporters are pretty passionate
